It has been decades since i have seen anything other than Coleman fuel. When i did have a can of other stuff, can't remember the name. I did not have any problems.

The Walmart brand was Ozark Trail. I've used it with no issues.

From what I can gather, Coleman "water-white" gasoline is pure naptha plus a rust inhibitor.

I've been using the Crown gas in my Coleman 425 Stove for a while now. It works fine.
(I picked that up in the West-Side El Paso Academy store.)

Locally the prices for a tin of Coleman fuel is $9-$10. I was thinking that as the Amish use a lot of Coleman stuff, and not all is the kerosene lamps I bet they do not buy their fuel by the tin. I think it was Parnold that said he gets or use to get naphtha in 5 gallon cans. Any one else ever do this? In reading on Wikipedia There are , generally, two types of Naphtha, one light and is what we use and a heavier one but seems that is used as feed stocks at the refinery for other products.

Just a thought

I just stocked up on some Crown ($6.99) because something tells me the price is going to go way up soon! Academy Sports has one can left. I took the other three cans.

The price of regular gasoline is getting scary.
